Castell Castle (Tägerwilen)

The origins of the current castle date back to 1585, when the Konstanz Junker Konrad Vogt von Wartenfels had a late Renaissance manor house built in place of a farmhouse. This building still forms the core of the complex today. In 1661, the property passed to the St. Gallen brothers Zollikofer von Altenklingen, who initiated renovations in 1725. In 1790, it came into the possession of Junker Daniel von Scherer from St. Gallen. A notable episode was the accommodation of 506 members of the Bourbaki Army for four weeks in 1871. Between 1878 and 1894, under Baron Max von Scherer-Scherburg, the residence was transformed into a representative Neo-Renaissance castle by architect Emil Otto Tafel. Carl von Häberlin adorned the property with frescoes between 1892 and 1894, depicting scenes from the castle's history. A remarkable interior feature is the replica of a Moorish hall from the Alhambra. Since 1901, the castle has been owned by the von Stockar family through inheritance, who are now in their fourth generation of ownership.

Castell Castle is located in the municipality of Tägerwilen in the district of Kreuzlingen, Canton Thurgau, Switzerland, at an elevation of approximately 495 m above sea level.

The castle is currently privately owned and not accessible to the public. However, it can be well viewed from the passing road through a clearing. The pond belonging to the castle and the surrounding forest are publicly accessible.
